My wife brought this to my attention. I don't know how I could have missed it.

QUOTE I wouldn't say he was in a hurry as he didn't need to make a flight as it was his own jet they were going back to. I did not see that in the story, you must be privy to info we don't have. The quote below however, was in the story. QUOTE "...as he and his family were running late for a flight. " QUOTE Oh, and it doesn't say he was in the city while doing this. Well, Yes it does. Quote below from story. QUOTE took place in the Bavarian town of Cobvurg. He could have killed himself, his wife, his kids, the taxi driver and what ever poor sucker that tried to occupy the same space at the same time as Mr. in a hurry, over a puppy. The problem was not his skills, but the lack of skills of most drivers. But he should know better and any accident would have been his fault, no matter what the other driver did. QUOTE The 38-year-old track ace had flown in with his wife Corinna and their children, Gina-Maria, ten and eight-year-old Mick, to pick up a pedigree puppy. Your statement is just as lame, how would you know? Oh, thats right, you know it all. QUOTE He was just going for what we call a spirited drive. To assume he was doing something that was threatening the lives of others is lame. |

QUOTE Your statement is just as lame, how would you know? Oh, thats right, you know it all. QUOTE He was just going for what we call a spirited drive. To assume he was doing something that was threatening the lives of others is lame. So I'm not sure when I ever claimed to know it all, but if you say so (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Why is my statement lame? I am trying to point out that everythihng that this taxi driver said could be equal to us going for a spirited drive which is in NO WAY dangerous. I am not making any assumptions that would point to wreckless driving. I understand your point about the boneheads that can pull out in front of you, but in that was the case we should never step foot in our little 914s (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) . That is why I am always aware of my surroundings with the understanding that any minute some jack ass in their SUV is going to run me over because they decided not to do a head check. That being said, I wish people would just enjoy the story and take as the taxi driver got to have the ride of his life with one of his heros. |
